Recording of intracranial pressure in conscious rats via telemetry
Although cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) is known to be fundamental in the control of normal
brain function, there have been no previous long-term measurements in animal models. The aim
of this study was to explore the stability and viability of long-term recordings of intracranial
pressure (ICP) in freely moving rats via a telemetry device. We also developed a repeatable
surgical approach with a solid-state pressure sensor at the tip of the catheter placed under the
dura and in combination with arterial pressure (AP) measurement to enable the calculation of
CPP.

A fully implantable telemetry system for the chronic monitoring of brain tissue oxygen in freely moving rats.
The ability to monitor tissue oxygen concentration in a specific region of the brain in a freely moving
animal could provide a new paradigm in neuroscience research. We have developed a fully implantable
telemetry system for the continuous and chronic recording of brain tissue oxygen (PO(2,BR)) in
conscious animals. A telemetry system with a sampling rate of 2kHz was combined with a miniaturized
potentiostat to amperiometrically detect oxygen concentration with carbon paste electrodes.

Direct conscious telemetry recordings demonstrate increased
renal sympathetic nerve activity in rats with chronic kidney disease
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with sympathetic hyperactivity and impaired blood pressure control reflex responses, yet direct evidence demonstrating these features of autonomic dysfunction in conscious animals is still lacking. Here we measured renal sympathetic nerve activity (RSNA) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) using telemetry-based recordings in a rat model of CKD, the Lewis Polycystic Kidney (LPK) rat, and assessed responses to chemoreflex activation and acute stress.

Conclusion
• Conscious telemetry recording of SNA overcomes many of the limitations of other indirect and direct measures of SNA
• Technically challenging with validation of recordings required and additional considerations (eg size) when being used for disease models
• Longitudinal data is possible…
• Dream for smaller probes (mice sized)
